CONCEPT
Pythagorean tuning — a system built by stacking perfect fifths (3:2 ratios). Creates a seven-note scale close to the modern major scale. But it produces a "Pythagorean comma" — after 12 fifths, you dont quite return to the starting octave. The math is elegant but imperfect.
Pythagorean tuning uses simple mathematical ratios to create musical scales, stacking perfect fifths, but results in a slight mathematical discrepancy—the "Pythagorean comma"—preventing a perfect octave return.
